    Abstract Abstract The lunar surface and interior are highly reducing, resulting in the virtually absence of ferric ion. However, recent studies suggest the presence of ferric iron in lunar samples, and in most cases they were found in amorphous silicates (e.g., glass beads) measured by TEM–EELS. In this work, we conducted a systematic TEM–EELS analysis on the iron valence states of Chang’e-5 impact glass beads. The Fe3+/ΣFe ratio of each silicate glass sample was determined from integral intensity of Fe L3 and L2 edge. The measurements show a positive correlation between the dwell time and Fe3+/ΣFe ratio, which reveals that ferric iron can be significantly produced by electron beam bombardment under routine analytical condition. The calculated Fe3+/ΣFe with short dwell times (≤ 20 ms) in our Chang’e-5 impact glass beads show no detectable inherent ferric iron, suggesting that the ferric iron is not ubiquitous as previously reported. It is obvious that a careful control of experiment conditions is critical to determine the inherent redox state of other beam-sensitive terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples. Graphical Abstract

    Abstract Diamonds form in a variety of environments between subducted crust, lithospheric and deep mantle. Recently, deep source diamonds with inclusions of the high-pressure H2O-phase ice-VII were discovered. By correlating the pressures of ice-VII inclusions with those of other high-pressure inclusions, we assess quantitatively the pressures and temperatures of their entrapment. We show that the ice-VII-bearing diamonds formed at depths down to 800 ± 60 km but at temperatures 200–500 K below average mantle temperature that match the pressure-temperature conditions of decomposing dense hydrous mantle silicates. Our work presents strong evidence for coupled recycling of water and carbon in the deep mantle based on natural samples.

    Abstract Temperature-dependent switching between p- and n-type conduction is a newly observed phenomenon in very few Ag-based semiconductors, which may promote fascinating applications in modern electronics. Pressure, as an efficient external stimulus that has driven collective phenomena such as spin-crossover and Mott transition, is also expected to initialize a conduction-type switching in transition metal-based semiconductors. Herein, we report the observation of a pressure-driven dramatic switching between p- and n-type conduction in chalcopyrite CuFeS₂ associated with a structural phase transition. Under compression around 8 GPa, CuFeS₂ undergoes a phase transition with symmetry breakdown from space group I-42d to space group I-4 accompanying with a remarkable volume shrinkage of the FeS₄ tetrahedra. A high-to-low spin-crossover of Fe²⁺ (S = 2 to S = 0) is manifested along with this phase transition. Instead of pressure-driven metallization, a surprising semiconductor-to-semiconductor transition is observed associated with the structural and electronic transformations. Significantly, both photocurrent and Hall coefficient measurements confirm that CuFeS₂ undergoes a reversible pressure-driven p–n conduction type switching accompanying with the structural phase transition. The absence of cationic charge transfer between copper and iron during the phase transition is confirmed by both X-ray absorption near-edge spectra (Cu/Fe, K-edge) and total-fluorescence-yield X-ray absorption spectra (Fe, K-edge) results, and the valence distribution maintains Cu²⁺Fe²⁺S₂ in the high-pressure phase. The observation of an abrupt pressure-driven p–n conduction type switching in a transition metal-based semiconductor paves the way to novel pressure-responsive switching devices.

    Abstract Calcium and oxygen are abundant elements in the Earth’s mantle, largely present as calcium oxide. Here the authors show, by experiments and computations, that calcium ozonide (CaO3) is stabilized at the high pressures and temperatures characteristic of the lower mantle, with implications for the deep Earth’s chemistry.
